DETERMINATION OF AGE FROM HISTOLOGY OF BONE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of human remains is a problem of great importance in crime investigation. Estimating age at death and finding sex of the individual from skeletal remains can be done with relative accuracy only when skeleton is complete and is difficult when only part of the remains is available. MATERIALS AND METHODS Osteons of femur are counted after preparing unstained slides. The values are subjected to statistical analysis to find out the correlation if any. The formula for age determination was determined using regression analysis. To predict age from the knowledge of the osteons count from femur a linear regression equation was formed y=a+bx. RESULTS This study indicates that the total number of osteons per field is positively correlated with age. CONCLUSIONS The formula for age determination was formulated using regression analysis and three formulae were obtained.
